The Oakland Raiders welcome the surging Tennessee Titans as they desperately need a bounce-back win. Here are three bold predictions for Sunday’s game.

Now that the week has passed for criticism and panic of the Oakland Raiders’ recent performances, it is time to look towards the significant matchup with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Oakland Raiders, now at 6-6, are (impressively) still within the hunt for a wild card spot and potentially for the division title, but they will need many things to turn in their favor. Regardless, it starts with a win on Sunday.

After a two-game road trip, the Raiders are back at home and welcome the red hot Titans at 7-5. A few weeks back many were quick to assume Tennessee could be penciled in as an easy victory for Oakland, but the resurgence of Ryan Tannehill and the threat of Derrick Henry in the backfield makes Sunday afternoon a tough obstacle.

The Raiders will need to embrace the underdog status once more, and to get the win they’ll need incredible performances from key players and much, much better discipline all-around.

Here are three bold predictions for Week 13 against the Titans.
